    "abstract": "We employ a molecular model to study a ternary mixture of saturated lipid,\nwith tails of sixteen carbons, a mono unsaturated lipid with tails of eighteen\ncarbons, and cholesterol. The model, solved within mean-field theory, produces\nseveral forms of phase diagrams depending upon the relative strengths of\ninteractions, but only one that shows the coexistence of two liquid phases\nobserved in experiment. The lipids in the phase rich in cholesterol are more\nordered than those in the other. The binary cholesterol, saturated lipid system\nalso exhibits liquid, liquid coexistence.",
